Becky “Queen B” Evans is a British driver, automotive presenter, and content creator from Coventry who came up through karting and drag racing before finding her competitive home in drifting.

EARLY YEARS

Evans grew up in Coventry, England, in a household where cars were not a hobby so much as a given. Her mother owned an old Mustang; her father was heavily involved in drag racing. Her first remembered track visit was in Scotland, at around age two, when she went along with her father — she recalled crying at the noise of a car and eventually coming to love it. [1]

She started karting at eight and by around fourteen had her own dragster. [1] As a teenager near Coventry, she was spending time with other enthusiasts in supermarket car parks, doing donuts, talking modifications, and absorbing automotive culture from the ground up. [2] The online handle “Queen B” started as a teenage account name and eventually followed her into her career. [1]

Her own description of those formative disciplines is precise: “I started karting, which is the purest form of racing, and then I got into drag racing, which is reaction-based driving.” [2] Both experiences gave her a foundation she would eventually draw on when returning to competition — but that return would take roughly a decade. [2]

OTHER INTERESTS

Evans’s interests run across driving, car styling, classic cars, and modification culture as a whole. She documented rebuilding and customising a 1983 BMW E21 in a YouTube blog — the kind of project that sits at the intersection of mechanical curiosity and content creation. [2]

Her stated ambition as a creator has been to make automotive content for a generation interested in cars alongside fashion, music, and culture — to bring in people who might not already think of themselves as car enthusiasts. [1] That crossover instinct has defined her media work as much as her driving.

EARLY SUCCESS

Evans created the Drift Queen series, which became her primary vehicle for documenting the world of drifting before she competed in it herself. It was through that first series that she learned enough about the discipline to see it as a viable route back into competition. [3]

Drifting appealed partly on practical grounds. She described it as comparatively accessible — entry-level competition was possible using a car like a BMW E36 with a welded differential, which placed it within reach in a way that other forms of motorsport are not. [3] She learned from professional drifters including “Mad” Mike Whiddett and James Deane, and was clear that watching and learning had to be matched by actually driving. [2]

Her Driftcup debut came after a ten-year gap from competitive driving. At an event in Fife, Scotland, she qualified in the middle of the field — a result she described as making her happy — before going out in her first battle. Garage D helped modify her Nissan S15 for competition; Dub Customs handled the car’s appearance. [2] After the Fife event, she said she had signed up for a full season the following year, though results from that season have not been verified. [2]

NOTABLE ACHIEVEMENTS

• 2019: Qualified for the Driftcup at a competitive event in Fife, Scotland, in a Nissan S15 — her return to competition after a ten-year break from racing. [2]
• 2026: Named on the entry list for the Max vs 100 karting challenge, appearing as Queen B (Rebecca Evans) among the participants. [4]

INSPIRATIONS

Among the professionals Evans has named as influences are drifters “Mad” Mike Whiddett and James Deane — two of the more technically accomplished names in the global drifting scene. She has been explicit that learning from them involved practical time behind the wheel, not just observation. [2]

REPUTATION

Porsche’s media profiled Evans as a presenter and content creator, and noted her work on Top Gear’s digital series Stig’s Garage. [5] Red Bull has featured her across multiple editorial pieces covering both her driving and her perspective on automotive culture. [2] Her Instagram handle is @queenb and she maintains a YouTube channel at youtube.com/@BeckyEvans. [5][2]

Asked whether being a woman had made entry into the automotive industry harder, she said she did not think gender had affected her and had not encountered real negativity on that basis. What she had encountered, she said, was elitism rather than sexism. [1]

FUTURE GOALS/PLANS

Evans is listed as a participant in the Max vs 100 karting challenge in 2026, competing under the Queen B name alongside a field assembled to race against Max Verstappen. [4]
